A Tour de Force! - My guide to the British Museum was Joe - Living in London I have visited the museum many times over the past 40 years but I decided to take this tour for a greater understanding of the objects I was to see on the day. Frankly, I have been on many tours world wide and I have to report that Joe was a simply outstanding guide with a very personable and polite manner and an enthusiastic commitment to sharing his comprehensive knowledge of the history of the objects we visited. He does not deserve 5 stars but 10! Thank you Joe.

Best tour Ive been on. The guide was polite, answering all questions and you can clearly see he loves his job. - The guide was engaging, spoke clearly and very knowledgeable. To keep 4 kids this interested for 2 hours you have to be very good at your job. I would most definitely recommend him.

Serious Red Flags – External Payment Link - There was zero communication from the tour operator until the day before the prepaid tour. The first message I received was an external link requesting additional payment for a tour that was already fully paid. This raised serious red flags and felt unsafe, so I reported it to Viator immediately. Viator declined to issue a refund. Suggest that travelers proceed with caution. Caveat emptor.
